Options that matter on site

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Inverter drives. A frequency inverter accelerates and brakes the curtain smoothly, cutting wear on every cycle.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.

Typical scopes of work

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in South Benfleet are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Typically a full-height light curtain or photocells, limited closing forces, and on many fabric models a soft or breakaway bottom edge. The exact package comes from the risk assessment for your traffic and is tested before handover.
